Genes affected

NALCN (HGNC:19082): (sodium leak channel, non-selective) This gene encodes a voltage-independent, nonselective cation channel which belongs to a family of voltage-gated sodium and calcium channels that regulates the resting membrane potential and excitability of neurons. This family is expressed throughout the nervous system and conducts a persistent sodium leak current that contributes to tonic neuronal excitability. The encoded protein forms a channelosome complex that includes G-protein-coupled receptors, UNC-79, UNC-80, NCA localization factor-1, and src family tyrosine kinases. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy, infantile hypotonia with psychomotor retardation and characteristic facies (IHPRF) syndrome, and congenital contractures of the limbs and face with hypotonia and developmental delay (CLIFAHDD) syndrome. A knockout of the orthologous gene in mice results in paralysis with a severely disrupted respiratory rhythm, and lethality within 24 hours after birth. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2017]

NALCN-AS1 (HGNC:42743): (NALCN antisense RNA 1)

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the NALCN gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 63 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 9 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 4.9555 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 6.7536 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to hypotonia, infantile, with psychomotor retardation and characteristic facies 1, digitotalar dysmorphism, hypotonia, infantile, with psychomotor retardation and characteristic facies, congenital contractures of the limbs and face, hypotonia, and developmental delay, Freeman-Sheldon syndrome, Sheldon-hall syndrome.
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.32928526).

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt NALCN protein function. This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1732 of the NALCN protein (p.Gly1732Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NALCN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1314243). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In-silico analysis, which includes splice predictors and evolutionary conservation, is inconclusive as to whether the variant alters gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.; In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -
